I've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?

It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.

View allI've got this melamine pigmentation issue right above my upper lip, and it's making that area look darker than the rest of my face. I tried using HH lite cream for a while, but after about 23 days, I noticed my skin there got reddish and swollen. Do you know of any other creams that might help without causing these problems? Also, I've got mixed skin, and every time I put on sunscreen, I start sweating a lot, leaving my face looking really oily and dark. Do you have any suggestions that could help out with both of these issues?

I'm worried about whether it's necessary to remove the frenulum to get my partner pregnant. I have mine intact and I really don't want to remove it. Could you give me some advice on this?
The frenulum is a small fold of mucous membrane that connects the lip to the gum. Removing it, also known as a frenectomy, is sometimes recommended for pregnant women, but it's not always necessary. Reasons for frenectomy during pregnancy: 1. Frenulum attachment: If the frenulum is too tight or attached too close to the teeth, it can cause tension on the gum and lead to recession or separation of the gum from the tooth. 2. Gum recession: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause gum inflammation and recession. A frenectomy might be recommended to reduce the risk of gum recession. 3. Oral hygiene: A tight frenulum can make it difficult to clean the area between the teeth and gum, leading to plaque buildup and potential oral health issues. Alternatives to frenectomy: If you're not comfortable with the idea of removing your frenulum, discuss the following alternatives with your dentist or healthcare provider: 1. Improved oral hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. 2. Gum massage: Gently massage your gums to improve blood flow and reduce tension.
